UC Davis Picnic Day Weekend

Most Read

So this past weekend was one of the most important at UC Davis: PICNIC DAY WEEKEND! Picnic Day is a UC Davis tradition that attracts people from all over the state, and features a lot of really amazing activities. The purpose of the day is to essentially show people how awesome my school is through expositions and displays, but, over the years, it's garnered a reputation as a huge party. Whether or not you party on Picnic Day is a decision you make on your own, but I chose not to this year (because I am underage and uninterested!) and still had a spectacular time.

The "Cat Walk", which was basically a room full of orphaned kittens who needed good homes, put on by the UCD Feline Medicine students (we are a huge veterinary school, as many of you may know) where I got to see tons of adorable cats. There was even a bald one!

The "Doxy Derby", which is a dachshund race also sponsored by vet students. Weiner dogs racing? Can't get much cuter.

The Annual Picnic Day Parade, where my school's awesome band (the "Band-Uh") performs unexpected song. I have even heard them play Lady Gaga! Then various groups from around the town of Davis, like the Vintage Bicycle Club, show off their floats and displays.

Overall, despite the insane heat, my boyfriend and I had an amazing time. I hope any of you who are anywhere near Davis will attend the festivities next year! You won't regret it.

Xoxo,

Brinton
